Clippers find a way in the 8th to score three runs and beat the Pierz Lakers, 6-5. Have some things to tighten up, but you can’t teach guys how to clutch up when the lights are the brightest and we did that today.

A great example of how to act after hitting a 460 ft bomb. Respect the game, don’t show up your opponent and act like you’ve done it before.

Clippers found a way to beat the Gussies, 4-3 in 10. Gavin Mathies with some heads up base running in the 9th and Brendan Ashton with the big swing off the wall to walk it off. We definitely need to play better than that, but it’s good to see some late game fight.
